abstract = {Intelligent user interfaces often rely on modified applications and
detailed application models. Such modifications and models are expensive
to build and maintain. We propose to automatically model the use
of unmodified applications to solve this problem. We observe a user's
interactions with the application's interface and from these observations
infer a state space which the user navigates and the stochastic policy
he or she follows. ONISI, the algorithm presented here, builds this
state space implicitly and on-line, and uses it to predict future
user actions. Trials with real users show that this algorithm predicts
the next user action significantly better than another current algorithm.}
